A pink blanket hand-crocheted by Queen Mary last century, discovered during a house clearance, is to be auctioned off, revealing a surprising familial connection.
The find occurred when a 68-year-old bookkeeper was clearing her 93-year-old aunt's home and stumbled upon the blanket in its original box.
The blanket carries a handwritten label from Buckingham Palace asserting it was crafted by Her Majesty the Queen, prompting curiosity about its journey.
Enjoying a sense of royal provenance, the discovery raises questions on how this cherished item fell into the hands of everyday family heirlooms.
